Burrowing rabbit; Emerging rabbit; In search of the white rabbit

Coming in to the light
as he doesn't want to be alone.
But the sun burns into his sight
as reality hits home.

Emerging from the ground,
oblivious to the sounds.
Mine eyes dazzled by the sun,
I left my senses in remand.

I pray for us dear friend
that somehow we'll find the key.
And as we stumble across the land,
may we the white rabbit see.

An afternoon piece of nugget with curry sauce

Alternating currents overhead,
lights flicker and nothing being said.

Smell of mac nuggets on my hand,
i feel like i need a fan.

Should have had a double quarter pounder,
what an uncanny yet pleasant encounter.

the Eggxeggerating riddler.

In a marble hall as white as milk

Lined with skin as soft as silk

Within a fountain crystal clear

A golden apple doth appear

No doors are there to this stronghold

Yet thieves break in and steal the gold

Heart of the meek.

the blinding ray Shone threw the haze
bringing to light the truth of mine gaze
listen not to words of man
but sooner follow the trail of sand

Where sheesh may safely graze

Pity about how things turned out;
but i never thought it turn this way.
You were just a friend (no more);
and i never intended for you to sway.

Your thoughts differ from mine,
and really they're out of line.
I can tell your pain;
but i can't take your blame.

Would u rather i had ignored you?
I'm sorry but i am not them.
So don't expect me to do what you are used to.
and stop being defensive like a clam.

It is true that now i don't understand how you feel;
but truer still that i never understood your thrill.
So i hope that through your self-imposed winding maze,
you'll find your way to where sheesh may safely graze.

The Morning Benders - Virgins (Exclusive new track for Blogotheque)



All my lovers around me like virgins screen today
Waist-deep in the water, pushing my body away

What makes you go, to put the past away?
Oh how many drops can you squeeze out to explain
What happened one day?

And one of them stays behind and trails me from afar
I saw her eyes, lit up like colors in the dark
But when our faces met, I was half a world away
It still shot in my breath as I turned to say

We meet another way
Where you wont recognize my face
Can we meet one way or another you wont, you wont
Speak up, speak up, speak up

When we meet one day you won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way or another you wont you wont
Speak up, speak up, speak up

And one day it suits me, the next it simply leaves me dry
It comes on like a lifetime, it passes into morning light
How beautiful it was to be anything at all
But somehow it strikes me, the timing came a bit off

When we meet another day you won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way or another you wont you wont
Speak up, speak up, speak up
When we meet one way you won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way or another you wont you wont
Speak up, speak up, speak up

A wine and a smile.

A nice low-key chill out evening.

Had a nice dinner with special-k at the vines@novena and treated myself to lobster/ribeye combo set with a nice red.


We later adjourned to Haato@ulu pandan for icecream and waffles on K's recommendation. T'was good i must say.


There's always something nice about having a nice glass of wine with someone whom you've known for ages. In the moment you tip your glass to your lips, this air of nostalgia fills the air. For that moment in the bustling restaurant, it was almost as though time grinded to a stop, as poignant moments that we shared came to the fore.

T'was not too long ago when we sat side-by-side outside KK Hospital's 7-eleven, each having ourselves a jelly-slurpee-sundae after a morning training session. It was a funny moment that i'll always look back upon with a lot of fondness. We were two 13-year olds planning to start a swim school together. Grand plans indeed. Haha. Interestingly enough, while our mutual friend has actually gone ahead and done just that, we're still sitting on that blue metal bench enjoying our ice creams and each others company, except that the blue metal bench of the past was now stylish wooden tables and chairs at Haato :) If there are times where fate cannot break the bonds formed by man, this could possibly be one.

As two 12 year-olds, we were set on paths that would see us become totally different people. In many ways, we're complete opposites. One a Blue and gold in heart, the other a green warrior. He was the ever-quiet aspirer, focused and determined. Me the loud-spoken philosopher, seeing things differently was my forte. He had everything that i lacked, drive and focus. We'll be in rival schools, and then take on different areas of study, in rival universities. He's always got everything planned, me unplanned. Our backgrounds cannot be more different, our ideals different. Somehow, one way or another, like the sun and moon, the earth couldn't get rid of us.

And as suddenly as time stopped for me, i find myself in the present again, as the bustling sounds of food being served, topics being shared, orders being taken, flood back into my consciousness. The blur of my surroundings gain focus again as i find myself sitting in a family-oriented restaurant called 'the vines'.
















Lost for words i am suddenly.

...Good wine, my friend, good wine.

A Quartet of Characters.

Ode to mane;
Recluse to light;
Yelp of beak.
-
Click of keys;
Surfing of sites;
Yielding to thoughts.
-
Sinking of posture;
Ache of spine.
-
Adhering to noise;
Beholden to notes.

just another afternoon

birds fly home, dawn to dusk, why cant time pass just as fast.
monotonous voice, lights are dim, i feel like eating ice cream.
mind starts to wander, eyes are heavy, now i feel like mash potato with gravy.
playing of gongs, arms start to ache, an afternoon slice of cheesecake.

It's a certainty.

A life is time;
they teach you growing up.
But the seconds ticking killed us all
a million years before the fall.
